SUMMARY:Theatre for a New Audience: The Tragedy of Coriolanus
DESCRIPTION:Who should lead in a land where the political rules are rapidly shifting and reordering\, class revolt is raging\, and basic food has become unaffordable? Is there a place for Coriolanus (McKinley Belcher III)\, a noble war hero and uncompromising aristocrat\, both admirable and detestable\, who refuses to hide his contempt for the newly empowered plebeian citizens? \nDirector Ash K. Tata stages Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Coriolanus incorporating live performance and a media-saturated landscape where the alienation of gaming violence and screen combat are contrasted with the intensity of IRL battles\, and the relationship of Volumnia (Roslyn Ruff) and her son Coriolanus gives human shape to the political drama.

SUMMARY:Moby Dick
DESCRIPTION:Regarded as one of the greatest of all American novels\, Herman Melville’s Moby Dick comes to BAM in a new production created by the iconic avant-garde director Robert Wilson for Germany’s Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. This classic tale of obsession and vengeance becomes enigmatic and new in Wilson’s mix of tart dialogue with indie-rock riffs and soaring ballads by British singer-songwriter Anna Calvi.

SUMMARY:Bang on a Can: Long Play Festival at Roulette
DESCRIPTION:Five performances in one day at Roulette\, as a part of Long Play Festival 2026. \n12:00 pm – David Longstreth\n2:00 pm – Michael Brook Cobalt Blue\n7:00 pm – David Lang: Mystery Sonatas with Emma Meinrenken\n8:00 pm – Julia Wolfe Anthracite Fields with the Bang on a Can All-Stars and Trinity Choir\n10:30 pm – Contemporaneous plays Gavin Bryars Jesus’ Blood and The Sinking of the Titanic \nDavid Longstreth is the founder and songwriter behind Dirty Projectors\, a mainstay in the pop and indie rock worlds since the band’s inception in 2002. \nCobalt Blue is an album by the Canadian musician Michael Brook\, released in 1992. Brook supported the album with a North American tour\, playing some shows with John Cale. The album was reissued in 1999\, with an additional disc of live material. \nOriginally premiered as part of a Carnegie Hall residency\, mystery sonatas are inspired by a remarkable set of violin pieces from the 1670s by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. Rather than the original fiery sonatas depicting Jesus’ life story\, Lang created intimate spiritual works\, divided into ‘joy\,’ ‘sorrow\,’ and ‘glory\,’ performed here by virtuoso Emma Meinrenken. \nLong interested in labor in America\, Julia Wolfe dove deeply into the coal mining country of her childhood for Anthracite Fields. In researching the piece\, she went down into coal mines\, visited patch towns and the local museums\, and interviewed retired miners. Wolfe says\, “My aim with Anthracite Fields is to honor the people who persevered and endured in the Pennsylvania Anthracite coal region during a time when the industry fueled the nation\, and to reveal a bit about who we are as American workers.” \nOne of the experimental double-bassist’s best-known early works is Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet\, which uses a recorded loop of a homeless man singing an improvised fragment\, with rich string harmonies layered on top. A recording of the piece was made in 1993 with Tom Waits. Here\, Contemporaneous brings the piece to life again. \n\nYou can get access to this show with a Long Play Pass. \n\nBang on a Can presents the 5th year of Long Play\, a four-day destination music festival\, presented from Thursday\, April 30 through Sunday\, May 3\, 2026. Long Play takes place at multiple venues around Downtown Brooklyn and features 70+ concerts\, including the Bang on a Can All-Stars playing a brand new arrangement of the iconic Philip Glass album Glassworks in its entirety and Julia Wolfe’s Pulitzer prize-winning Anthracite Fields with Trinity Choir\, Steve Reich’s classic Sextet plus Electric Counterpoint performed live by 13 electric guitarists\, the legendary Billy Hart Quartet\, the esteemed and extraordinary Amina Claudine Myers\, and the US premiere of Kali Malone. \nFull 4-day and Supporter Passes are on sale now\, as well as 1-day Saturday and Sunday passes. Roulette Members get 20% off full Long Play festival passes! Email development@roulette.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Bang on a Can: Long Play Festival at BRIC Ballroom
DESCRIPTION:Five performances in one day at BRIC Ballroom\, as a part of Long Play Festival 2026. \n1:00 pm – Michael Gordon Trance with Ensemble Signal\n3:00 pm – Dither and Friends play James Tenney\n5:30 pm – Lucy Railton\n8:00 pm – Mamtos\n10:30 pm –Melaine Dalibert The Vermilion Hours \nGordon says\, “Trance began after a dream I had in July 1994 while I was in residence at the Djerassi Foundation just south of San Francisco.” Brad Lubman: Conductor // Paul Coleman: Sound Director // Jessica Schmitz\, Amir Farsi: Flute/Pan Pipes // David Crowell\, Ed Rosenberg III\, Ken Thomson: Saxophones //  David Friend\, Luke Poeppel\, Lisa Moore: Synthesizer // Red Wierenga: Accordion // Taylor Levine: Guitar // Greg Chudzik: Bass Guitar // Doug Perkins: Percussion // Olivia De Prato: Violin // Lauren Radnofsky: Cello // Seneca Black\, Tim Leopold\, Changhyun Cha\, Kevin Fitzgerald:  Trumpet // Jen Baker\, Lauren Galarraga\, Colin Babcock\, Julie Dombrowski: Trombone \nNew York-based electric guitar quartet Dither and Friends performs works by the great James Tenney\, who is known for revolutionizing algorithmic composition\, plunderphonics\, spectral music\, and microtonal systems. \nLong Play hosts the first live performance in the US of Lucy Railton’s Blue Veil. Blue Veil invites listeners into the realm of precision-tuned states of resonance: states made manifest through Railton’s careful traversal of her cello’s most subtle acoustic characteristics as they harmonically interlock with the mind’s embodied modalities of attention and imagination. \nMatmos is Drew Daniel and M.C. Schmidt. They are respected\, innovative auteurs in the world of electronic music and sampling culture making music out of a wildly heterogeneous set of objects and sources\, manipulated into surprisingly accessible forms. The result is a model of electronic composition providing the listener with entry points into densely allusive\, baroque recordings that have the direct sensory immediacy of pop music. \nFrench pianist and composer Melaine Dalibert has been exploring the field of generative music for nearly two decades\, developing “paper algorithms” that never sacrifice poetry and great harmonic subtlety. His “vermilion hour\,” a record project initially conceived with David Sylvian (2025)\, will be presented for the first time in the USA in its instrumental version\, combining piano and synthesizer. \n\nYou can get access to this show with a Long Play Pass. \n\nBang on a Can presents the 5th year of Long Play\, a four-day destination music festival\, presented from Thursday\, April 30 through Sunday\, May 3\, 2026.
